HGG, is that 55 days of 12/12 or 55 days since the first pistils emerged?
Just curious because my Blueberries took a while to start flowering after the flip.

Your pic looks great, I'm just getting more and more excited to finally get to try MJ's BB. My only past experience has been the overdried stuff from our LPs. Cheers.

Thank you. The quantity won't be impressive but I hope the effect will be.

I NEVER count from emergence of pistils as that is subjective. You might notice them days before me, or days later. Counting from the time change is the only way that makes sense to me.
Pretty sure that MikeJ says on his site that all his flowering times are from the initiation of 12/12 as well.

Funny i was just reading about this lol.

Do you count flowering from 12/12 switch or when you see pistil hairs?

I was wondering how do you count the flowering days. Do you count from 12/12 switch from 18/6 Or Do you start counting flowering days when you first see pistils? I always have started counting the flowering period from when I see the first pistils, however I recently have seen a few...

I saw that thread and intentionally skipped it. I figured it would turn into a pissing match with no winner.

I know what makes sense to me and can't imagine a logical reason to change my view.

Best thing about this thread is that everyone has been cool and respectful to each other.

A factor not often considered is why we even count, we want to know how long a crop will take to mature. If one pla t shows pistils at 3 days and another in 14 days, that 11 day difference disappears in the final assessment. I also favor going from flip as it is a firm and objective point of certainty.

That's where I'm at nowadays, why count? It's done when it's done. I guess if on a production schedule the dates matter.

I keep track because it's easy and I never know what I will learn from data I collect.
Especially for cuts it makes scheduling really simple. If I know a plant will be done under MY parameters in X days I know when to cut more clones, pop more seeds, plan a camping trip, or guilt friends into being available for trimming duty. ;)

Again with clones, I've also learned how an extra 7-10 days flowering time can have a significant difference in effect. I've posted about this experience with my Peak C99, where 49 or 50 days is a far racier high than the same cut at 59 days. I wouldn't have learned this if I hadn't kept track. For me it's just part of the fun. I have an analytical mind, it's going to process its surroundings anyway, so I might as well try to feed it data that could benefit me. :mrgreen:

In turn we all benefit. I like the C99 info

I also don't own a calendar, and dont care to keep track, etc. Microscope works great for me. Plus I'm a shitty grower who's inconsistent, so that doesn't help with estimated finishing times. I just like growing the stuff, and keeping it really simple.

Kushberry for me had poor germination but the two I got are famales and have the thickest stalk I’ve ever seen on young plants

Since you made this comment, I have noticed a similar thing. For their age and size they have above average stock thickness for sure. Also, they are quite stocky and compact for the amount of nodes (3). A dark purple tint to the main stocks on a few of them, but with lush green petioles. I am happy so far with their young lives.

I’m very excited about this cultivar. I chose it as my outdoor Indica for its fast finish time but I did read that it’s susceptible to mould in late flower. I plan to top where I can and hopefully keep the bud size down a bit although I’m not sure how big they are normally. It’s also in a 30 gallon smart pot so it may be possible to move under cover when necessary in the fall. Indoors I have 3 clones ready to go into flower I’m just not sure if I want 4 or 8 colas

Hey y'all, I thought I'd ask some grower's advice for C99.

At day 30f, I can really see how these ones in particular need special attention with their stem support. The buds are filling in nicely but the stems are so thin! Would you say that it just needs a few stakes in the pot and a few pieces of string to hold them as vertically as possible? That's what I've got right now, with the string about 5 or 6 inches from the tops of the plants. Or, should I go out of my way more than that?

The reason I'm asking is because I read somewhere on RIU that someone adjusts their stakes DAILY when growing C99, at this point in the grow. It seems a bit excessive to me, but I thought I'd take the safe route and ask your experience.

One thing I'm pretty impressed with is the trichomes on the leaves at this point. Look at the outer edges of the smaller, lower leaves on that stem. The discoloration isn't the leaves, it's from so many trichomes. This may be a good plant for making hash.

Thanks.

In my previous post was C99 at day 30f, grown from seed.
Just in case anyone’s interested, here's Blueberry at day 30f, grown from seed, for comparison.
Apparently it's going to explode with growth soon, but for the time being, it's like watching paint dry. At least the leaf growth is looking really healthy.

When I ran the c99 from peak they needed decent support. Those stems are super flimsy and the buds get quite plump and dense. They flop over pretty gnarly in late flower. The c99 seems to really pack weight starting 6th week of flower, comes out of now where.
